Filed To Story: Their Bullied and Broken Mate by Teri Petry
My parents were pissed when they found out what happened. More so that they weren’t notified, but understood why. Mom agreed with Riley, and is going to talk to Peter. Lette knows him, and trusts him. Hopefully, he can help her. Phoenix wants to be the one to help her, but mom feels like it would cause him too much trauma, and Alette won’t fully open up in fear of hurting him.
When I came home, I locked myself in the pack house. George and Henry continued to run things for me until I could grasp what had just happened. I needed my wife and daughter close to me, and I swore that I would make sure they were always protected from people like Jameson Issacs.
“Babe, you need to eat something,” I heard Riley say. She brought me some of my favorite corn chowder and garlic knots, and a pitcher of sweet tea. These were my comfort foods, and all that was missing was blueberry cheesecake. I thanked her, and did my best to eat as much as I could. My phone rang, and Riley picked it up. She has been monitoring my calls for me.
This time she handed me the phone. The look in her eyes said I needed to take it. “Hello? This is Alpha Maddix,” I answered.
“Mads? Can you come to Spirit Mountain? Please?” a timid voice asked. It was my sister, and she needed me. Riley just nodded, and mouthed that she was coming along with me. “I will be there tomorrow, sis. Are you doing alright?” I asked. She told me she was, but she just needed to see me. “Mads, don’t bring anyone other than Riley and Willow. I can’t handle that right now. I love River and Phoenix, but it’s already too much with mom and dads being here smothering me,” she said. I promised it would just be us, and I disconnected.
“She told me to make it just us, but I feel like we should take Peter with us. Maybe see if she will go through with the counseling.” I told Riley. She shook her head. “No, Maddix. You just promised her. Going against her wishes would just make her further withdraw from us.” I knew she was right, but the overwhelming obligation I felt to help Alette, outweighed everything else right now. In my heart I had failed her by not getting to her faster, and I knew Damian’s guilt about that was deeper than mine. Grandma said we just needed to give her time, and had sent some healing potions to Spirit Mountain for Alette’s wolf.
Alaska hasn’t made her presence known since the day we rescued Alette. I think that contributes to Alette’s depression. Maybe having people she feels safe with will help Alaska come forward.
I decided to call my other sisters. I knew they were planning on going to see Alette, but wasn’t sure when. I call Asteria, and she picks up the phone pretty quickly. “Hey sis, where are you and Addie?” I asked. “Hello to you, too big brother. We are at home, why?” she replied. I explained to her the phone call I had just received, and asked if they could wait a few more days to head down to Alette. She agreed, and promised to see us by the weekend.
After speaking to Asteria, I came up with an idea. Mom and our dads were already at Spirit Mountain, so I decided to talk to them about maybe having a family BBQ this weekend. Riley and I would get there in the morning, and we would have a couple of days before the rest would get there. I messaged Pheonix and River, and they said they would be there. I know Alette isn’t feeling festive, but I think a small get-together might bring her a little more out of her shell.
That night, lying in bed with my mate, I felt a calmness come over me. A calmness I hadn’t felt since the day my sister was taken. I prayed that this was a sign of things to come, and I snuggled in closer to Riley. I took a deep breath, and that was when the scent hit me. I sat straight up and looked at Riley. “Babe, are you pregnant?” I asked her.
She smiled brightly at me, and nodded her head. “5 weeks,” she said. Things had been so crazy that she hadn’t had time to tell me. I was going to be a dad. We are having a baby. Finally, something good is happening to someone in the family. I pulled her into a deep kiss, and that night I made love to my wife. Riley was the best thing that happened to me, and I was going to prove to her over and over how much she really meant to me.
The next morning, we ate breakfast as a family. The house omegas loaded up my car with our luggage, and after we finished our meal, we drove off towards Spirit Mountain. I held tightly to Riley’s hand as we traveled. We spoke of the future, we talked about our journey with each other so far, but most of all, we spoke about family. She loved my family as much as they loved her, and I knew she would help as much as she could to help Alette find herself again.
